Robert inches closer, watching carefully. The raccoon, though clearly focused on the garbage, has something small tucked beneath its paws. A tiny, fragile creature is hidden underneath, and the raccoon is guarding it with a fierce protectiveness. Robert’s curiosity spikes—what could it be?
Robert takes a few more steps, squinting in the dim light. As he draws near, he sees that the raccoon is cradling several baby rabbits, their tiny bodies shivering from the cold. The raccoon has been keeping them warm and safe from the harsh winter, sheltering them from the freezing temperatures and the elements.
With the storm intensifying and the snow falling heavier, Robert knows he must act quickly. But how? Should he move the rabbits to safety, or leave them where they are? He doesn’t want to cause more harm.
